Why online resources?

Studying abroad can be a life-changing experience, offering the opportunity to learn about new cultures, languages, and ways of life. It can also be a challenging experience, as students must adapt to a new environment and potentially navigate unfamiliar cultural customs and norms. That’s why it’s important for students to be prepared before embarking on their study abroad journey. With BackpackerU, we provide a variety of online resources to help students make the most of their study abroad experience, including language resources, cultural tips, and travel safety information. We believe that being well-informed and prepared can help to make the study abroad experience more enjoyable and rewarding.

A message from Brian Butler, founder of Summit Global Education, and BackpackerU

 

Hi there! My name is Brian Butler, and I am the founder of Summit Global Education. I have always been a curious and adventurous person, and have had the opportunity to travel extensively to countries in Europe, North and South America, and Southeast Asia.

Through my travels, I have come to believe that global experiences have the power to transform lives and broaden horizons. They expose us to new perspectives, cultures, and ways of life, and help us develop skills that are invaluable in our personal and professional lives.

I founded Summit Global Education to help other students have the same transformative experience.

We founded “BackpackerU” to be a resource for all professionals working in the international education sector.  We welcome any professor to help contribute to our (ever expanding) library of study abroad resources.

 We hope you will join us!
